Hey man thanks for your feedback and overwhelming support. It's always motivating to hear it, even after I've left the service. Your right about having more confidence and body language. I notice I approach women and start conversations with everyone way more then most people on campus. Most people seem like zombies walking from class to class with Thier heads down or music in Thier ears, afraid of human interaction. I make eye contact with everyone, most look away or our afraid to look back (other males at least) woman seem to have a bit of a spark in Thier eyes once they connect.
I feel like I'm doing a lot better with meeting other people and opening sets in day game. I've been practicing in the long stretches between classes, just walking arround the campus and talking to girls I like. I've got a few numbers, more rejections than numbers but at least I'm trying, it feels good actually. I think I'll be able to turn this whole virgin thing arround someday soon and correct this weakness I have. I'm used to rejection anyway so at least I'm not scared of it. It's hard to be scared of anything in the real world, nothing feels nearly as intimidating as it once did. Although I still have no idea when or how to escalate physically. I'm always afraid a women is going to freak out if I try to kiss her or anything like that. I dunno why but I have this irrational fear that women will cry sexual harassment or assault or something which is silly I know but somehow always pops in my head when I think about trying.
I don't remember if I mentioned it in my original post or not but I've been performing stand up comedy at open Mic nights once a week. It's helped me out a ton.
Anyway thanks again for your response. Semper fi!
And you are practicing humor at an Open Mic?
Jesus....
Open Mic will teach you to handle tension, humor, and rejection. It's an amazing learning tool.
For touch, start out social, stuff you would do with your grandmother. When you open, and she engages, a hand on the arm while still talking opens the physical pathway of communication.
In college I would suggest checking out and befriending Frat guys. Not all frats are the same. Some suck. Some have hazing and treat men and women horrible. But some are better, and they all throw parties. You befriend the guys, they will help you get laid.
For them its purely a Value swap. You are social, bring girls in, they reciprocate. Be social, befriend frat guys, Open girls and invite them. The guys will wing for you if they have a girl. They will introduce you to girls at the party.
You do not need to even join the Frat. Just be friends with some of the guys.
Heck, pitching in for a keg is often enough Value to make them want you to party with them.
But you need to Open them and be friendly first.
This will Open you options for women quite a bit.
Something I did was have my own headphones on, and when I went up to girls with head phones I would very deliberately pull mine off after we made eye contact. That often would get them to do the same. Easy Rapport off of what are you listening to.
You have it in you and are marching down the right path. As you know, it is easier than we make it out to be.
